Infinite Comics

Infinite Comics is an imprint of comic books published by Marvel Comics, featuring original, made-for-digital stories about the company's superhero characters, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Silver Surfer, the X-Men and the Avengers. The imprint was launched in 2012[1] with the publication of Avengers vs. X-Men #1: Infinite featuring Nova.[2] Infinite Comics are designed for horizontal, on-screen reading. Rather than telling a story over a series of static pages that are divided into panels, Infinite Comics present screens of content that "take advantage of the digital format with techniques that would not be possible in a print comic, like dynamic panel transitions and captions or dialogue boxes that appear sequentially on an image at the prompting of the reader."[3] The user retains control over the pace of the reading experience, advancing the story with each swipe – sometimes staggering elements into the existing screen[4] (for example, a new word balloon) and at other times revealing an entirely new screen.
